<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Michael K, post: 3356262, member: 78298&quot;]I can&#039;t tell if they are proofs or not. They look pretty proofy and anyone can put any kinds of coins they like in an album. The proofs were made in Philly those years,</p><p>so if there is a D on the reverse at 3 o&#039;clock by Monticello, it&#039;s not.</p><p>It&#039;s unusual to get full steps on any circulation strike (before they reworked the dies, but that came much later). Both of those coins have pretty clean full steps which are not unusual, but common on proof coins. (2 strikes, more pressure, special dies and planchets). If your coins are business strikes (regular coins) then they are indeed MS (mint state) and full steps.&nbsp; They look like proofs but I don&#039;t have the coins in hand. Proofs have that shimmering luster and great details that you rarely ever get on business strikes unless they are brand new and early die strikes.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
